Autumn

I have to say I that the fall is my favorite time of year. Halloween is one of the top two holidays in my book (the other being Christmas). I love the weather, watching the leaves change, the reenactment fairs, and the football.  Life is so much better when you get to sleep with the windows open and there's a briskness in the air. Also. I finally got my speaker set which completes my new computer set-up. And little Darby is all curled up and ready for bed. Life is good. Make that great.

So it's been about 2 days since my new computer was delivered and I have to say it has turned out to be everything I hoped it would be. It's quite a leap going from a 6-year old laptop that is getting more and more temperamental in its old age to something new and much more powerful. Also, it's shiny and who doesn't like shiny. It's been tricky, though, getting used to all the differences. I have to remember that I'll be using a full size keyboard almost all the time now and that there's no touch pad. However, those are just minor issues compared to my laptop's tendancy to shut down at 52% battery and the ever increasing blue screen of death. This new [mystery]machine (I've also named all of my external hard drives after the members of Mystery Inc.) is well worth the investment and minor issues. Always remember that a 23" monitor is probably bigger than you think it is, especially when you get two of them.

New Compy

So I just ordered a new computer today and I'm pretty excited about it. My current laptop has passed the 6-year mark and I think it might be time to move on. Spontaneous shut downs and horrible battery life are becoming more and more of a nuisance. I still need to figure out where I'm going to relocate the stuff on my desk, but that'll come. Also, I finally received some feedback on an assignment which will greatly help me complete the next one and not have it be total shit. Novel, I know. I should probably check out Homestar Runner soon, it's been way too long.
